seated, her mechanism made her reach over and pour tea (if you had the
cup in just the right position). Her name was Crumpet. <snip>

> Oh my god! Crumpet was the only doll I ever had, the only one I ever
wanted. I got her for Christmas when I was maybe 4 or 5? She wore a
sort of wine colored velvet jumper (jumper in the American definition
of the word).

US. Seemed like an excellent name to me with the way she served the tea.
Carol responds:
Is this the doll? If so, you can still buy her on eBay.
